At what point to you give up? The BDR comes with two rear ratios, either 3.46 (most common) or 3.15. There are a few others that get mixed in, but of the 1,000 cars sold in the USA you have 95% equipped with ratios that don't meet your claim.

It's fine if you don't know enough about the cars, just don't make stuff up.
